in just two short hours i will be playing the first soccer game of my life. i have a little anxiety seeings as how i don't really know much of anything about soccer and here i am playing. but on saturday a friend took me out to a grassy knoll and taught me (what i hope are) the basics. she even informed me that the shin guards should be worn OUTSIDE of the socks. that's good to know.

i also thought it might be a good idea to ask the coach to put me in whatever position is the equivalent to right field in softball. i'm not ashamed to take a little charity.

my team is called Mixed Nuts. somehow this doesn't sound very intimidating, but it does sound like a good fit for me...
